God
There is only one true God, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and present everywhere. He is both transcendent and immanent. God is not bound by space or time, nor is He subject to His creation, but He exists outside of it. However, He has and does interact with His creation. He has always existed and always will. God is eternal.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life. He came to earth to suffer and die on a cross as an atonement for our sins. He was physically resurrected from the grave and has ascended to the Father awaiting his second coming.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is a real person, and not a force or energy. At the moment of regeneration, we are indwelled by the Holy Spirit as promised by Christ. Through the Holy Spirit we are sealed until the day of redemption, convicted of our sin, and are taught and led in righteousness.
The Bible
The Holy Bible, consisting of both the Old and New Testaments, is perfect,
infallible and without error. It is God breathed, written by men of God through
the influence of the Holy Spirit. The Bible, consisting of the Old (39 books) and New (27 books) Testaments, is the plenary, verbally inspired word of God, and that it is inerrant and infallible. It is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. The King James Version of the Bible is the best and preserved version for English speaking peoples.
Man
Man is in a perpetual state of sin due to the actions of our first parents, Adam and Eve. Through their disobedience a curse was brought about upon all mankind and extended to the entire creation constituting the fall.
Satan
Satan is a real person, the progenitor of sin and confusion, who caused the fall of mankind. He is the open enemy of God and of man. He was cast out of Heaven, along with his rebellious followers, for attempting to usurp the throne of God.
Salvation
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone. No one can merit salvation through their own works. Only through the atoning blood of Christ can anyone hope for eternal life.
Eternal Security
At the moment of salvation, a true believer is redeemed and eternally secure never to be plucked from the hand of Christ. Not to say a believer is incapable of sin, and will not fall as all do. But a true born again believer will grow in Christ and begin to manifest fruit of the Spirit.
Separation
We are called to live in the world, but to not be of the world. Believers are to be separated from all sinfulness and worldliness, so as to be a witness for Christ while on this earth and not bring reproach upon his name.
The Church
The Church is the Bride of Christ, and is not limited to any certain denomination or organization. But is made up of all truly regenerated believers in him.
Ordinances
Christ instituted two (2) ordinances for the Church to observe. Water (believer's) baptism, as an outward testimony of our union with Christ, and the Lord's Supper as a commemoration of the broken body and shed blood of our Lord for the Church.
The Rapture
The imminent return of Christ and the rapture of the Church, preceding the Tribulation. At which time the Anti-Christ will come to power and rule the earth for seven (7) years. After the seven years, Christ will return to defeat the Anti-Christ and inaugurate his Millennial reign. During which time Satan will be bound and cast into the bottomless pit.
